For five years I tried a long distance relationship. I was faithful, devoted, loving, traveled 175 miles (2 1/2 hours) one way every other weekend and every weekend from October through January! He cheated on me claiming that "not being able to see me every day wasn't enough because he got lonely." I took a job I didn't want that gave me the opportunity to transfer closer to him and asked him to help look for a place for us to live together that was closer to him and his kids and he didn't help look.

So no, I don't think that long distance relationships work, no I will never do or be in one again and after my experience I highly recommend against them unless one of you is planning to move closer so that bad weather, distance or temptation dont become an issue.


It seems Red that you tried to make it work whereas he did not. You traveled 2 1/2 hrs one way every other weekend. Did he travel the 2 1/2 hrs on the other weekends or was he content in you traveling the miles? If he cheated on you then he had no desire to make it work especially when he didn't help look for a place so you could live together that was closer to him. He just wanted his cake and eat it too. There are always bad apples in the bushel and sometimes you have to go through a few bad ones before you find a good one.

Sure. Why not? If you have feelings and it's what you want to do, then go for it.

It all boils down to feelings should trump miles but that is only if the feelings are felt by both sides of the coin. Then and only then will the miles become insignificant.

is it wrong to ask webcam women if i can pretend to be their boyfriend, to practice not being the jealous type?
